Been awhile...

Post by Stephen Wilcox »

It has been so long since I finished one that I'd forgotten how fun it is to play a brand new creation. Hey, I should do this more often!

The top is Sitka Spruce, back/sides/neck are from a packing crate supplied by the customer. His mother-in-law shipped some stuff from her home in Honduras, and he wanted a guitar built from the crate. Finish is Target Oxford PSL.

Well that is a really nice packing crate Stephen :-) I really like the butt end treatment, very different and attractive.

Thanks for all the positive comments.
